.iss is the source file for an Inno Setup installer, an installer for Windows.

I have FPC code that converts the [Files] section to a Zip file, which is then
bundled with a custom setup.sh shell script to create a self-extracting installer. 
This is done with makeself (check internet for makeself).

The self-extracting installer works on any linux system that has unzip installed.
Even that can probably be reduced to simply tar and compress, given some work.

According to the author, the makeself self-extractor should work on any unix 
compatible system.

If this is an acceptable procedure for you, then I can send the sources 
and the setup.sh script.

Michael.
